Libra New Moon : Balance

Enjoy some New Moon insight from Divine Harmony. Libra is the sign representative of balance, and the theme continues with tonight’s full moon. To usher in a new chapter, consider doing a New Moon meditation and a salt bath symbolic of cleansing yourself for the new cycle.

“Our task is not to seek for love (as Rumi says) but merely to seek and find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it.

“With Uranus the rebel and revolutionary and Chiron the Wounded Healer teaming up with this New Moon- we may be initiating ourselves into a month long process of truly feeling all our wounds and pain, anger and rage that keep us from experiencing the deeper Love we seek- both within and without.

“You cannot heal what you cannot feel– so the coming month brings with it deep opportunities to get deeply in touch with that which runs you Unconsciously so that you can integrate it, heal it and take conscious creative control of your life back!

“Right on the heels of the Eclipse portal and a 2 year period of time where we had four Total Eclipses back to back (termed a tetrad)- the way we do relationship with ourselves and others has been in breakdown and breakthrough territory.

“Wherever imbalances have been playing out in our inner and outer lives- we have been forced to face them and take full responsibility for them if we want to be able to have any chance at transforming or healing them…”

“Ultimately we are all seeking to become whole- whether that takes years or lifetimes. And the Libra scales of balance remind us that when we don’t own something in ourselves we will project it out onto others.

“And in order to do the inner work required of us we have to be willing to take back that projection and become conscious of that energy within ourselves- which will necessarily change the dynamic in relationships.

“The change could seem to be for the better or it could seem to be for the worse- but change is definitely the constant on the evolutionary path. There is no escaping it!

“This New Moon in Libra also activates the Venus/Saturn square…Venus square Saturn tests the foundations in relationships and financial situations.

“Saturn’s harsh Light shows us very clearly what is working and what is not. With this insight we can work to making something more stable OR we could realize that we have come to the expiration date and it’s time to let go.

“It’s definitely a heavy energy but when used consciously it can help us cut away the superfluous and get to the Truth.

“This particular square is in Virgo and Sagittarius…so there is an element of discernment (Virgo) and honest to God Truth (Sadge) that is being demanded of us.

“The New Moon semisquares both Venus and Saturn- meaning that the New Moon is at the exact midpoint of these two bodies. Because Venus actually rules this lunation (Venus rules Libra)- we again get this message (and it will keep coming until we listen to it) about what is done and needs to be released, what is not working and needs to be fixed, and what is still growth producing and can stick around.

“Venus rules relationships and romance but she also rules self-value, self-worth and self-Love. This New Moon can bring us opportunities to see where we are not being self-Loving in the choices we make and things we do and what shifts or changes we need to make in our lives so we can align with and truly embody the Love we seek outside of ourselves.

“…evolution is circular not linear- and there are times we loop back over lessons we learned previously so we can take our mastery of them deeper.

“Yet until we have really committed to this inner process and inner work- all our outer reflections and relationships are going to be attracted into our lives to help us see what is not working inside.

“This can manifest as intense, karmic and at times traumatic relationships that are in our lives to solely wake us up.

“But when we are already on the path of waking ourselves up we don’t need to attract someone to play that role for us- and that changes the dynamic in all of our relationships (again this is about shifting out of role based relationships that keep us stuck in karmic patterns of the past).”
